speedometer not accurate

[KeepYahGuessing]

My speedo needle is way off sometimes like it will get stuck at and start at 20mph over what im doing..the digital odometer works just fine an accurate...does this make any sense to anyone? could there be a sensor that has gone bad?

thanks

This thread is correct. I just got mine done free of charge. It extends the warranty to 7 years/ 70k miles for the stepper motors in the cluster. Very common problem. :yaya:

04 Tahoe - Speedo problems

I'm stationed in Germany with the military and I had my Tahoe shipped over here. We have just gone over 70k , but at 64k the speedo started acting up. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this from over here? I've read the other thread about recalls, is there anything I can do about the recall being in Germany? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Matt

I would imagine that since you have surpassed 70k, that they will turn you away. There is a guy on ebay that will fix the stepper motors for you. Perform search function on these forums or on ebay. You can also purchase just the motors yourself if your comfortable soldering and doing fine tuning of the needles. I hope this helps.
